Walmart to market its own wine |
|
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 10:19 PM by Kathy in Cambridge
This is an email from my auntie. I thought it was pretty funny.
Some Wal*Mart customers soon will be able to sample a new discount item: Walmart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto, California, to produce the spirits at an affordable price, in the $2-5 range. While wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of Wal*Mart brand wine into their shopping carts, there is a market for cheap wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I. She said: "The right name is important." So, here we go:The top 13 suggested names for Wal*Mart Wine:
13. Chateau du Traileur Parc 12. White Trashfindel 11. Big Red Gulp 10. Grape Expectations 9. Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays" 8.. NASCARbernet 7. Chef Boyardeaux 6. Peanut Noir 5. Chateau des Moines 4. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar! 3. World Championship Riesling 2. Sams Shiraz And the number 1 name for Wal*Mart Wine ... 1. Nasti Spumante!!! The beauty of Wal*Mart wine is that it can be served with both white meat (Possum) and red meat (squirrel). Make sure to vote on your favorite name at a Wal*Mart near you!

wal mart malt beverage.....has a ring to it. i can't wait for the new commercials for that one:
wal mart malt beverage, dollar store candles, spam on ritz crackers, and an evening with your significant cracker: $15.85 (sales tax applicable)
birthing your first child in the bed of your husbands '82 el camino....priceless.
wal marts. always low prices. always.
